The 96A1’s alloy frame keeps weight manageable while the black anodized finish resists corrosion. An internal polymer recoil buffer, rated for over 30,000 rounds, reduces frame stress and softens felt recoil.
The open-top slide, finished in black Bruniton, promotes reliable ejection and simplifies clearing the chamber. Beretta’s ambidextrous safety/decocker, automatic firing-pin block, and half-cock notch add layered safety without slowing operation.
Full 3-dot dovetail sights provide a familiar sight picture and are drift-adjustable for windage. The integral Picatinny rail supports lights or lasers, expanding defensive or duty versatility.
This pistol is part of Beretta’s Y-Grade program, meaning it was factory-inspected for mechanical integrity and certified before sale, offering extra confidence in a pre-owned firearm.
